    Overload and Isolation Exercises

    I know the principle of overload when applied to compound exercises involving the large muscle groups but does it still apply to the same extent for isolation exercises? I would have thought that there must be a limit to how much small muscles can grow so overload becomes ineffective after...

    Fasting, Good, Bad or Ugly?

    Does anyone follow some sort of Fasting Routine?? Intermitted Fasting, Water Fasting, Dry Fasting, Long Term Fasting, Snake Diet Fasting etc? Why? Why Not? How will fasting affect the 'protein window' and muscle gains in general? Will it send your muscles wasting away?

    Tinnitus

    Who here has it? I have it in one ear and it caused by the fuck up in the chain of muscles from the massiter to the trap more than likely from an unrack or OH injury that never got treated. Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

    Advice for removing man boobs request

    I am trying to burn off man boobs but never seem to be able to tense the muscles related to the area. I tried using an ems training belt around my man boobs and I could feel that the muscles and tendons were incredibly tight and contracted. This is probably why I can never tense these muscles...

    Abdominal Training Theory - Jeff Cavaliere

    Very interesting theory that goes against everything I've been taught. Have always been to exhale upon contraction pushing air from diaphragm allowing muscles to contract stronger. Today, I did as Jeff said in his video, and the contractions were just as strong as if I had done the opposite...

    Pull ups

    Hey all. I'm trying to get to the level of a fully fledged pull up. I'm currently on 40kg on the assisted pull up machines. So how do you know when you are ready to move onto the resistant band? I'd imaging there are some stability muscles that aren't being worked on the assisted pull up machine.

    Waist width

    I've been doing more training then usual and have noticed my waist and hip measurements have increased. I'm guessing this is because I've been focussing on back muscles to help improve my posture. I'm pretty sure that it's not my diet. I'm vegan which pretty much eliminates 90% of bad foods...

    What are the best Post-work out Foods to help build muscles?

    I set out on a journey to work out. The results have been impressive so far. My handwork and resilience has paid me off. One thing though, I have had difficulty choosing what food to take immediately after gym sessions. I subscribe to the fact that a nourished body performs at its best. In fact...

    Pain from military press

    About two-3 years ago I broke my collar bone, would this have anything to do with the pain I experience in my left shoulder? It feels like all the muscles are pushing together and overlapping sometimes and it hurts and I have to stop training. Should I keep it light with the bar only until I can...
